combat aircraft of the enemy in the armies of the world the role of electronic warfare (EW). Russia in the field of creation of this weapon leads. About the latest development of complex electronic warfare “Krasuha-2” – said the electronic edition of the “Army standard”.
Despite successful tests and reliable service, including in Syria, such complexes “Krasuha-2 and Krasuha-4”, the developers have continued to improve the system. The work went in two directions: increasing the range and improving mobility and compactness.
If “Krasuhi-4” range, according to open sources, about 300 kilometers, the complex “Krasuha-2” – about 400 km. One of the tasks of the system is to cover from radar stations of the enemy command posts, air defense positions, the areas of concentration of troops and separate the important objects.
the Advanced complex detects and klassificeret type of waveform captures and maintains the radiation source, if necessary, suppress it. As a result, the radar of opposing sides of the “blind” and cannot bring weapons.
According to experts, the upgraded electronic warfare system can seriously hinder the work of the flying command posts of the U.S. air force – aircraft AWACS. Active interference, capable of supplying over hundreds of kilometers of Russian complex EW, do not allow the AWACS to achieve quality target designation and to direct fighters, the newspaper writes.
Instead of two or three machines with special equipment used in complexes “Krasuha-2 and Krasuha-4”, advanced complex “Krasuha-2” is a 40-ton machine based on BAZ-6910-022. Electronic filling has become more compact. Increased efficiency. The control channels are duplicated, which increases the stability of operation.
the crew of the formidable complex of only three people: the commander, operator and driver. The cabin is protected from the microwave radiation. There is air conditioning.
According to experts, the new facility surpasses the analogues of existing weapons in the NATO armies. Including those created in the United States the analogue of the Krasukha — electronic warfare EWTV (Electronic Warfare Tactical Vehicle). In its Arsenal a modified system protivoelektrodom struggle Duk Crew, assembled on the basis of the armoured vehicle International MaxxPro. The complex allows to detect and to suppress an adversary in a wide range of frequencies. But the characteristics inferior to the Russian electronic warfare systems.
As writes the edition, in the U.S., focusing on systems of electronic intelligence, for a long time underestimated the increased role of the means of their suppression. So they now have to catch up with us.
